Gyarados Ex: A Powerful Force

Gyarados Ex boasts impressive stats: 180 HP, "Rampaging Whirlpool" (3 Water, 1 Colorless Energy) – discarding a random Energy from all Pokémon and dealing 140 damage – and a Lightning weakness. Its high HP allows it to withstand attacks from powerful Pokémon like Mewtwo Ex and Pikachu Ex, making it a formidable finisher.

Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo: A Strategic Approach

This deck focuses on a strategic build-up, utilizing Greninja and Gyarados Ex synergistically.

Deck List:

• Froakie x2
• Frogadier x2
• Greninja x2
• Druddigon x2
• Magikarp x2
• Gyarados Ex x2
• Misty x2
• Leaf x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poké Ball x2

Druddigon acts as a sturdy wall (100 HP) and inflicts chip damage without Energy investment, buying time to power up Greninja for additional chip damage or as a primary attacker. Gyarados Ex then delivers the knockout blow.

Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo: Speed and Versatility

For a faster-paced strategy, this deck replaces the Greninja line with Vaporeon and Starmie Ex.

Deck List:

• Magikarp x2
• Gyarados Ex x2
• Eevee (Mythical Island) x2
• Vaporeon (Mythical Island) x2
• Staryu x2
• Starmie Ex x2
• Misty x2
• Sabrina
• Giovanni
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poké Ball x2

Starmie Ex's zero-cost retreat allows for flexible Gyarados Ex deployment, while Vaporeon facilitates efficient Energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready for action. This deck prioritizes speed and adaptability.
